16 Homeowners Reveal Things They Wish They Knew Before Buying Their First House

1. Get the sewage pipe scoped. I wish I would have down that with my first house. If I would have known that, I would have never bought the house. Tree roots were growing into the sewer pipe. Every 6 months or so we would have the sewer pipe back up and had to call a plumber out on an emergency call. It was advised to us that we should probably replace the sewage pipe with a PVC pipe. This would involve tearing up the concrete in the basement and digging out the front yard to get access to the pipe. It was going to cost a lot of money.

This Has Squatter Written All over It!

From the ad, if the individual were to seek to become a squatter after being invited into the home under the pretense of house sitting, they could potentially take advantage of the situation by:

  2. Refusing to leave: After the agreed house sitting period is over, they could simply refuse to vacate the property.
  3. Exploiting legal protections: Depending on local laws, once someone has established residency, even illegally, there may be a formal eviction process that the owner must go through to remove the individual, which can be time-consuming and costly.

17 Welders Reveal How Much They Make

1. My background is welding but I branched out and learned more trade skills. I make $45 an hour with pretty much unlimited overtime. I know I’m far above average in pay. I was making $50k for a couple years. That’s pretty normal for average welders doing shop and fab work.

Unless you are willing to endanger your life or be moving around constantly with no job security you probably won’t be making 100k a year.
